چکیده

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the top 10 most widely used drugs in the world. PPI use has been associated with an increased risk of enteric infections, most notably Clostridium difficile. The gut microbiome plays an important role in enteric infections, by resisting or promoting colonisation by pathogens. In this study, we investigated the influence of PPI use on the gut microbiome. METHODS The gut microbiome composition of 1815 individuals, spanning three cohorts, was assessed by tag sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The difference in microbiota composition in PPI users versus non-users was analysed separately in each cohort, followed by a meta-analysis. RESULTS 211 of the participants were using PPIs at the moment of stool sampling. PPI use is associated with a significant decrease in Shannon's diversity and with changes in 20% of the bacterial taxa (false discovery rate <0.05). Multiple oral bacteria were over-represented in the faecal microbiome of PPI-users, including the genus Rothia (p=9.8×10(-38)). In PPI users we observed a significant increase in bacteria: genera Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and the potentially pathogenic species Escherichia coli. CONCLUSIONS The differences between PPI users and non-users observed in this study are consistently associated with changes towards a less healthy gut microbiome. These differences are in line with known changes that predispose to C. difficile infections and can potentially explain the increased risk of enteric infections in PPI users. On a population level, the effects of PPI are more prominent than the effects of antibiotics or other commonly used drugs.

Does Long-Term Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy Affect the Health of Gut Microbiota?

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most widely sold medications in the world and are generally considered safe. PPIs are frequently prescribed or taken for long periods without evidence-based indication. 1 However, long-term use of PPIs has not been studied in depth, and several side effects have recently been identified, including an increased risk of enteric infections such as small ...

The influence of long-term use of proton pump inhibitors on the gut microbiota: an age-sex-matched case-control study

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to treat gastro-esophageal reflux and prevent gastric ulcers, and have been considered as low risk. However, recent studies have identified possible associations between PPI use and gut microbiota, suggesting that PPIs use increases the risk of enteric infections, including Clostridium difficile infection. To investigate gut microbiota in Japanese P...

Proton pump inhibitors alter the composition of the gut microbiota.

OBJECTIVE Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are drugs used to suppress gastric acid production and treat GI disorders such as peptic ulcers and gastro-oesophageal reflux. They have been considered low risk, have been widely adopted, and are often over-prescribed. Recent studies have identified an increased risk of enteric and other infections with their use. Small studies have identified possible a...

Prolonged use of a proton pump inhibitor reduces microbial diversity: implications for Clostridium difficile susceptibility

BACKGROUND The role of the gut microbiome in arresting pathogen colonization and growth is important for protection against Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Observational studies associate proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and CDI incidence. We hypothesized that PPI use affected the distal gut microbiome over time, an effect that would be best explored by time-longitudinal study of healthy ...

Letter by Marlicz et al Regarding Article, “Proton Pump Inhibitors Accelerate Endothelial Senescence” We read with great interest the study by Yepuri et al on the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on endothelial cells. The investigators exposed human microvascular endothelial cells to PPIs and observed reduced cell proliferation, a decrease in NO, and impaired proteostasis. Moreover, num...
